Where they were
Released on February 26, 2014, 'Ride Me' marks the first official album from Super Junior members Donghae and Eunhyuk as a duo, following their successful single 'Oppa, Oppa' in 2011. At this point in their careers, both artists were already established within the K-pop scene through the larger Super Junior group, but sought to showcase their individual artistry through this project.
Why it matters
